Expansion joint sealing in East Hendred
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. The enquiries we see most involve joints where the bead has lost adhesion and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in East Hendred from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like East Hendred, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

When to call us in East Hendred
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
Office parks like The Core Business Centre (1.6 miles north-east of East Hendred) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Car park decks and ramps

Questions about East Hendred
Is East Hendred too small for you to travel to?

Can staff carry on working while you are here?

Is any job too small?

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. If others near East Hendred need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Related advice
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it and decks and floors suffer most. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
